In Houma are two stores connected by a company that provides quality materials and first-class support in any rebuilding project after a storm.


Morrison Terrebonne has been a staple in the community in one form or another for more than 90 years. Morrison Home Center was founded in 1924 as Houma Brick and Box. Terrebonne Lumber & Supply joined the city’s ranks in 1937. The two companies merged in 1999 to form an even larger company that can provide all-encompassing service, from choosing the right products for a job to coordinators helping to complete projects from the ground up.

Morrison Terrebonne now has two locations, with the lumber section in downtown Houma and the hardware store on St. Charles St. In the aftermath of a hurricane or tropical storm, wind and flood damage can leave many residents with daunting rebuilding tasks ahead. MT’s two locations have a wide range of products and employees to make those projects as efficient as possible. Morrison Terrebonne not only provides lumber, but also a wider collection of building materials, flooring, plumbing, roofing and many other products for home projects.

With managing partners sharing more than 100 years of combined experience in the business, MT has a wealth of knowledge to find the best product out of their array of options for any project. The company’s website says those partners and the sales staff at Morrison Terrebonne stay in the know on building trends so they can offer the latest in technology and products to consumers. On top of that, MT has a team ready to provide a combination of services for both businesses and residents in the area. The company has a full-time estimator to provide detailed estimates on material costs. Along with project coordinators assisting with builds and rebuilds, Morrison Terrebonne has a fleet of delivery vehicles to bring products to your doorstep and keep projects on schedule.


The company website says it has been supplying professional contractors with building material since 1947 and its extensive inventory and skilled staff can help businesses find the products they need quickly. However, the company also caters to those who are working not for profit but to maintain the four walls around them and the roof over their head. Morrison Terrebonne’s website says it has everything residents need for upkeep of a family home in the Bayou Region.

“At Morrison Terrebonne, our first focus is serving the families in our communities,” reads the website. “We understand your home is probably the largest investment you have and we want to help you keep it in good working order for the health and safety of your family.”

For those looking to purchase new products for projects or hardware to have around the house at a cut rate, Morrison Terrebonne is always running a series of promotions and clearance sales. When MT plans to no longer stock a product or has an overabundance of them, the stores will stock their closeout sections with great deals to get them off the shelves. The company website reminds shoppers to check each store’s ever-changing closeout sections often for the latest sales.
